2021 Map of Marshfield

About this map

Marshfield serves as the primary hub in this Missouri landscape, where the headwaters of the Pomme de Terre River and the James River define the local drainage. The area is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Thomas Cem, Welch Cem, and Osborn Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research. Transportation and water crossings are prominent, with Bumgarden Ford and Lindstrew Ford marking traditional river passage points. Smaller settlements like Northview and Crown anchor the outlying rural areas. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous named tributaries such as Turnbo Cr, Greer Cr, and Lacey Br, illustrating how the Ozark Plateau's topography influenced the placement of original homesteads and local road networks.
